In my life 
By surprise 
She arrived 
Like a slap across my face 
And I never saw the signs 
I was strange 
Beautiful 
Not the same 
As the other guys she knows 
And she tells them all she’s mine 
She says you’re my ambition 
I’m yours on one condition 

Whatcha gonna do 
To make me want you 
Say 
Whatcha gonna get me 
Show me what’s new 
Hey 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do for me? 

My baby holds me tight 
But I’m just a ladder 
Baby’s movin’ up 
I love here so I let her 
She says 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do for me? 

And the lights 
Sting my eyes 
But to her 
It’s a place that she calls home 
And the world can come and stay 
And we smile 
For the crowd 
But her touch 
Always seems a little cold 
It’s the perfect game we play 

This surface deep attraction 
It’s such a sweet distraction 

Whatcha gonna do 
To make me want you 
Say 
Whatcha gonna get me 
Show me what’s new 
Hey 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do for me? 

My baby holds me tight 
But I’m just a ladder 
Baby’s movin’ up 
I love here so I let her 
She says 

Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do for me? 

Fly me to the stars 
I’m guilty as you are 
Cause I let it go 
But I need you so 

Whatcha gonna do 
To make me want you 
Say 
Whatcha gonna get me 
Show me what’s new 
Hey 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do for me? 

My baby holds me tight 
But I’m just a ladder 
Baby’s movin’ up 
I love here so I let her 
She says 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do 
Whatcha gonna do for me?
